Adventure story. 348. Alarm of clock

                                                                     Alarm of clock
Nisha started to plan a wonderful story to write a story for a project which was given to her by her boss it was told clearly that if she could created in perfect way it could be play or film. She was so excited about it when she entered in her home that she clearly told her parents that they must not disturb her. She started to search for a perfect place when she found a perfect corner where she kept her laptop and started typing. She was so happy that finally her life got some meaning and she could dream as she wished. She began to think this project would give her a dream. She began to write on laptop. She began to sense that her entire world was locked in just a dream. She looked at watch and selected time since she knew that she had to do normal office work too. This was not her official work it was an extra project which was given to her by her boss. She was working in an financial company but she had a hobby of writing stories and her boss was interested in making something like a film or a play. He wanted cheap writers so he asked his employees if anyone could write it. There was not even promise of big remuneration so no one showed much interest. She managed to get that work easily. Boss warned her that she must divide her time. He told her clearly that her writing must not affect her official work. She agreed it from her heart. She set alarm for proper timing. She knew that as soon as she started to write any dream will start in a new one would be open before her. She didn't want to forget reality during it so she set alarm clock to wake her up from time to time. Then she started reading that book and slowly that begin to form. Alarm clock started to ring she woke up from that world and started doing her daily job. Her parents were excited about the story and same thing apply to her brother. When she went on dinner table everyone started asking about story. Nisha " I can't just start telling you plot this way it will not work I will finish my story I will start telling you." Her brother Raju " that's not fair We Are Family you must tell us." " That is nonsense I can't tell you and disturb my story." Her Dad " if it is disturbing her in her story I must not force her to do it." Raju clearly  disliked this idea. Raju started to look upset when mom told him that you must not argue about such a small things. Mom " Come on finally we are going to be the first one who are going to read that story? If we put pressure on her like that we might not able to get that good story from her." Raju seemed convinced. He nodded and he said " But I want to be the first person who will read it?" She agreed and from that day she started to writing the story. She started writing it with full attention but she never crossed limits. Whenever alarm clock rang she immediately stop her story. She didn't able to spare her time for anything  she was just busy in two things on her office work other was the story. Her life began to move ahead with her proper planning. But she didn't have enough time for family. She denied attending any family function all going out with her parents on any occasion. She didn't feel any need of social life during writing that story. That story became truth for her during that time. She began to feel that those characters are real but she knew that they were not real. She didn't understand actually what was her thought about that story since when she was so happy while writing that she forgot entire world for it. Her mind began to love to fall in trap of that fictional world. But her parents kept insisting that she must go outside for some time to see what was real world. She always laughed on their attitude she knew that she was not imagine in those character of her story in real world. She knew that if she walked in your garden she would not imagine her hero or heroine or villain talking with her. She even laughed at that thought her all character in story were  nothing but fiction. Finally her story ended on fixed time. She was so excited to present it before her boss everyone was keeping fingers crossed. But when she finally gave it to her boss her boss didn't look that much approvingly at that story. Her Boss " your story seems so nice but sadly I am not in position at this moment to invest in play or film." Nisha felt so sad. Nisha was expecting competition. But this was that turn which she never expected. That project was entirely cancelled by her boss. She nodded and went out of cabin. Her colleagues were waiting for her. " So what did Boss said?" "Well he is not ready to invest in film or play at this point." " Our Boss didn't have any heart he always acted like that!!" " Last time we discuss about starting cookery classes and I have tried so many recipes in my house but then finally he said no he can't do that he didn't have money. Every time same stunt." Nisha " But you don't told me this at beginning?" " I can't just tell you that this time is going to repeat entire scene. I hope that this time it would turn in right way." Everyone around office nodded and then she sensed that she was only one who wrote story because every other person in office already knew that her boss was not going to do anything regarding it. Nisha thought that she loved writing so it was nice hobby. She took it for few days so she could forget it now can began her life in normal way.
        Nisha went back to house from office. In her house every one was excited about her story. When she saw pieces of her family she suddenly began to feel very sorry. Nisha "Actually Boss had decided that he didn't want to make a play?" Her Mom " What how could your Boss act in such way like that you have worked so hard for that story and now he don't even want to read it?" Her father " stop it in office you have to obey your boss he was trying to start new business but he might have some financial problem after starting with theatre is not easy or cheap thing. He had to work hard to find suitable director and many other things. Just having writer is not enough." Nisha " dad is right mom it needed more finance and my boss can't afford to give money at this point and after all I want my salary monthly and that is more important than any other thing so if he start this play might not able to pay me my salary so I want my salary more than this play going in theatre" suddenly everyone agreed since Her family felt that she work hard in office so she must receive her salary and that is more important after all this play was just hobby not her profession. Her profession was important in their eyes so they needed to support her statement. So everyone agreed to forget that play and started normal life. Nisha went in her room and started working on some official work. When she suddenly hear alarm and she knew that she had not set it but maybe her mum had set alarm. She screamed loudly on her mom "Stop that alarm." Her mom neither answer her not stopped that alarm. She was so angry her mom was not listening to her at all. Her head began to pain due to that loud sound of alarm. What's so horrible she didn't understand why did anyone need such loud sound of a alarm. She knew that it was her everyday alarm but still its noise was too much. She began to feel so much frustrated because she didn't understand why did her normal alarm clock disturbing her so much. Then she turned around and saw her alarm clock was still on her table. She was so confused then she understood someone must have brought another clock in this house which was much louder than her alarm clock. She didn't understand how could anyone brought alarm clock with such loud voice. She went out of her room and started going towards that alarm clock. She could hear it but she could not see it she kept searching for it from room to room. Finally she reached in kitchen and asked her mom " Mom why did anyone put such loud sound for alarm? My head is paining due to it." Her mom had back towards her, she was busy in cooking lunch. Her mom had habit of listening to music while cooking with headphones so she could not able to hear her. Nisha understood everything her mom was wearing headphones so she could not hear that loud alarm. It must be mistake of her brother or her father. Since her mom never set any alarm like that and forget it. She looked around in house and sensed that her brother had already left for college. She felt irritated she sense that he must have set this alarm before going out. She kept searching for that alarm clock but she could not see it. Then she turned towards her Mom. Mom was still busy in hearing music and cooking. She tapped on her mom's shoulder. She turned and asked " What happened?" Nisha screamed on her " Can't you hear that alarm clock? Stop it mom stop it." " Oh that alarm your brother must have forgot to close it." Her mom said this with smile she was so angry. " Mom this is not matter of laughing?" " Sorry I will go and switch off that alarm." It was so strange that she could not able to locate alarm clock for a such a long time but her mom able to locate it in few seconds. Her mom smiled " That's it." She began to feel ok to it was strange just one alarm clock manage to hurt her so much. But she felt so relieved as soon as it was stopped. Her Mom " What happened how could a small alarm clock manage to hurt you so much?" "I don't know how Mom but it managed." " OK I will take care of it." Her Mom took that watch and went inside her bedroom. Keep it inside bedroom. " That will be ok that what is inside one bedroom I have locked it in my cupboard so no one could find it. " Nisha smile with relief " It was so frustrating Mom I felt as if someone is hitting my head with hammer." Her Mom started laughing. "It was little bit louder but I never thought it could manage to hurt you so much." " Mom it was too loud anyway now issue was over it should be locked in the cupboard." Nisha went back in her room and started working. She soon sensed that she was missing some important part of her life. She started thinking that what she supposed to do. She was no longer planning to write in stool so hurting was not going to be her timepass so what is she could do. She started thinking about other options. She looked at herself in mirror and she started to sense that she was gaining some weight. After all entire time she was just sitting and typing. So she decided to go in garden for walk. She needed some exercise and fresh air. She went near cupboard and started selecting her cloth. She was so confused she had not went in garden for a such a long time. She didn't understand which set of clothes will be perfect for it. Then finally she selected one cloth and got ready. She called her mom and told her that she was going in Garden. Her mom was as usual listening to the music. Finally she kept on her shoulder and told her with gesture and her mom nodded her head. Finally she went out in garden for jogging first time after so many days.
      Nisha came out from her building she started to feel confused. It was so hot. She never thought that it could have reached to such a point where she started to feel burn on her skin. He started to feel so irritated that she decided that she might to just took auto for Garden. But then she felt that if she took auto before going for jogging it was useless. She decided that she must take walk. But when she started walking in the sun she started to feel so strange. She began to think that she might faint due to that heat. She seems that for a long time she never went out in Sun so she didn't understand effects of summer now. She sensed and garden watch far away from her house and it was not wise to walk there in this heat. Finally after trying for some time she took auto. She was so frustrated she couldn't even able to walk little bit in that heat. When she saw  Garden she took breath of relief. She went inside that Garden and started watching different flowers. She began to feel so happy it seemed as her childhood was becoming alive before her. In her childhood she used to go in this garden with her grandparents. Those were wonderful days for her. She started observing interior of that garden but it was changed on many points. All her childhood games were removed now. They created big playground for kids. And little children's games were given small corner. It seems as if they are playing area was limited in small world. No one was permitting little kids to enter in main ground since big boys were playing football or cricket there. Overall Garden was changed but everyone seemed to be ok with it. She was the only one who was missing that old Garden. She began to think that she needed to get over her past. After all her childhood was over and now she supposed to act like a elder. She could not just decide to swing on that little kids swing. She started laughing even at that thought. It would look so strange to those little bit kids if she started going there and using their games. They would surely consider her a mad woman. When she looked around and started to take walk. She was looking around and taking walk when she suddenly heard ring of mobile. Someone's mobile was ringing and that person was not taking call. It was so frustrating to her. She suddenly began to feel that someone was beating her head with hammer. It was so strange she began to check herself for temperature. But her body appeared to be cold like ice. She didn't found any sign of sickness even during entire morning. Today she woke up early to complete her work and she was even supposed to go in office. It was so frustrating that she her head started to pain suddenly again and again. It all started due to that irritating alarm clock. After that it was increasing step by step Nisha was feeling frustrated at any noise. It was not right and healthy for her. She wanted to control herself but it didn't happen. She could not dare to hear that voice. She began to lose entire control of her mind. She turned towards person who's phone was ringing and started screaming on him " Took your call. Your ring is irritating me either took your call or I will break your mobile." Owner of mobile started to look at her with anger. " Are you mad? Why you ask me like that? My ringtone is quite normal." Then he started looking at other joggers for support. But no one wanted to start argument in morning so one of the middle age man came forward and said " Come on friend she must have some bad day so she is throwing her anger on you. This happen sometime with everyone even you and me so let's keep one chance. " He said it in such a way that owner of mobile nodded and switch off his mobile. Nisha immediately apologize to him. Nisha " I am so sorry but today my head is paining with every noise." Mobile owner look concerned about her. He asked her " Did you check your BP?" She nodded negatively. " You must do that since in case of high BP your head started to pain like that with every noise." Nisha feel scared she never thought about this but this could be true. After all I did she was getting angry again and again like that and her head what was paining like that? She might be sick. She knew very well that high blood pressure was the risky thing. She began to feel scared even while jogging there. She didn't want to find there and died due to heart attack. She decided that she must sit on bench. She started concentrating on her breathing. She wanted to sense that if her breathing was fast. She began to feel so scared she began to think she was having high BP that's why her breathing was so fast. She decided that she should not take walk instead of that she should go to hospital and check herself. But she didn't know any number of hospital she decided that she should visit her family doctor. She called her office and told her boss she needed a vacation. Her boss was not happy about it but when she told him that she was feeling sick he decided to give her vacation. Boss " It was just for one day don't drag it more." She Agreed. Then she took auto and went home.
      Nisha was feeling totally strange when she reached home. She sensed that her feet were weak she couldn't even stand on them. She began to feel disoriented. She started to feel so strange. She was scared even to walk down from that auto. She began to feel so scared. Auto Driver started asking her " Madam why you are not going down?" She sensed the driver's mobile was ringing. Its ring was not loud but still it was giving strange impact on her mind. The driver was not taking his call instead of that he was asking her what happened to her. Soon person who was calling stopped calling. She felt normal when mobile's ring stopped but she knew it was for a few moments so she paid there as soon as possible and ran out of that auto. Auto driver was looking at her in strange way. While trying to stay away from that mobile ring  she didn't look at Road properly and she managed to put her fit in hole on road. She tripped on ground. People started to look at her in shock. Soon Auto driver came near her and helped her to stand up again. Luckily he forgot his mobile inside Auto. Her leg was paining too much it was clear that it was hurt. Then soon their society watchman came running towards her too. By that time she slowly started to walk. But she was not using her right foot. It was clearly injured. When she reached home, her Mom was shocked after watching her like that. She told them to take Nisha inside. They managed to put her in bed. Her leg was paining too much. She began to sense that it was not normal pain. She didn't want to scream but still she could not stop screaming. Her mom started looking so scared. Mom "What happened?" "She slipped on the road." Auto driver " I don't understand why did madam started running like that so fast. It is totally strange." Nisha's mom thanked them both. And gave them tip for helping her. They tried to deny it but mom insisted. Finally they took it but they started telling mom that she must call ambulance immediately. Watchman " I think that her leg is broken so you must call ambulance immediately." Her Mom nodded. She called their family Doctor who suggested hospital. Her Mom wrote it down then Nisha's Mom called Nisha's Dad. Nisha was literally screaming in pain. Her Mom gave her painkiller but it was useless. Her pains were not reducing. Finally doctor came and gave her painkiller then only her pain stopped. She began to fall asleep. In her sleep she kept having strange dreams. When she woke up she sensed that someone was taking her on stretcher. She fall asleep again. In that sleep she didn't feel anything at all she felt as if she was not even in her body. She started to dream strange different different things. Then she suddenly heard it again. Ring of mobile!! She woke up from sleep and without giving any second thought she started screaming on the man who was holding that mobile. That man was so shocked. Nisha's Mom kept apologizing and rushed her inside. When that voice has stopped, she slept again. After that her entire life seemed like locked in that hospital. It was not much time but still she felt as if she was inside the hospital for many days. When she came back home, her leg was still in plaster. But she started working from house. After all just sitting on the bed or sleeping on the bed was very irritating. She needed some timepass and her boss providing her plenty of work to pass her time. She knew that it was not something which could relax her but still she knew that she needed to do it. It was better to start working from house than just sitting in the house and then working for extra hours to complete that work. But she was careful about one thing that she didn't want to hear any kind of ring. She even kept her room door closed so that she should not hear doorbell. She wanted to recover from her sickness but she didn't want to hear any kind of ring. She sensed one thing from her mind that those rings were causing many troubles in her life. It was ok when she was inside house to avoid those things but she was tense that when she went out she could not avoid them. She began to think that she might convince your boss that she could just work from home only. But when she tried to do that her boss became angry. Boss " Nonsense I need you even for meetings we need to convince our client that our firm is best." Nisha was nervous Now since she knew that her boss was right she needed to convince client that she was best. They didn't want to just hear her voice they wanted to see her too. She needed to develop faith in her clients and for developing faith seeing her was also important. She knew that she could develop a day today contact only she could develop faith without seeing that person which was impossible for her. She was so upset she needed to find some way. She was looking out of window with a hopeless expression when her dad came inside her room. Her dad " Your mom was saying that you were not leaving this house? Why?" " Dad my leg is still not fine." " I know but now you can use crutches and move around. Nisha now you need exercise for your legs." Nisha sensed that her Dad was right. She needed to take walk now but her trouble was those rings which could anywhere out of anyone's pocket. She just wished that she was in that age when mobile were not existed. What she could not tell this to her dad so she said " Fine I will start taking walk from tomorrow." But sadly her tomorrow was not coming so early. She just kept hiding her trouble.
       Nisha kept avoiding to go out but soon her parents sensed that and they decided to talk with Doctor. When they talked this with doctor , doctor smiled and said " This is common with patient when they are at recovering mode. She still remember her pain so she didn't want experience those pains again so she is not ready to use her leg. Need to convince her that now her leg will not pain. We can do it step by step." Then doctor explained them how did they supposed to convince her. They went home and started to convince Nisha that she could walk. It was very hard since soon they sensed that she was not actually scared of walking. She was not telling anything clearly but they sense one thing that she was ready to walk inside house. They felt that it was first step of recovery so they told her it's ok. So she started walking around in the house. She began to feel totally not going out to office watch her next task with her boss wanted her to do as soon as possible. He was also start to threatening her that if she didn't join the office then he would fire her. Everyone in house felt that it was not mistake of her boss it was Nisha's mistake. It was clear that when she took job her boss expected her to come in office everyday and she was not going in office for at least 15 days. Her Mom "Nisha it is wrong you must go to office now. This is nice job you will lose this job this way." "Mom don't worry I have studied on internet and found many job which I could do from home only. They even offer more salary." " And you need to do more work too and they will be too exhausting. I heard from one of my friend that in such a job you can't even sleep at night you have to work whole night. This way your health will suffer this job is lot better it is for fixed hour only." " What fixed hour mom? I need to work from home too. With that job I will at least reduce my travelling time." Her mom didn't like that idea at all. " But why did you want to change your job? I thought you like it." " I was adjusting with it you can see I don't have even any friends in office." Her Mom nodded but then she smiled and said " Let's go in garden we have not went for walk for so many days." Nisha didn't like that idea at all. She remembered very well that what happened when she last time went in garden for jogging. " No..Mom I feel we can talk happily inside house." " But I feel you need fresh air. " " No mom I don't need pressure I am fine inside house." Nisha started to feel so frustrated. Mom " Come on tell me what happened why you don't want to go out?" " No mom I am fine." " Just saying I am fine I am fine is not solution. Nisha tell me your problem how could I solve it if you don't tell me your problem?" Nisha started to feel scared. She sensed that she could no longer hide her problem. She was so scared. Her Mom started to move her hand on her shoulders the way she used to do when she was a child. She slowly began to feel relax. She started to feel that she could trust her mother. She slowly sleep in her laps and started telling her everything. Her mom was shocked. Mom" But you were never scared of rings of phone or clock or in fact you and never scared of any noise. In fact you were the brave one from childhood you never scared of lightening or firecrackers too " " I know Mom but it is not happening." " But honey you can't lock yourself in house like that. We need to find some solution on this." " I know mom but I am so scared." " Maybe you should talk to doctor?" Nisha become angry suddenly she sensed that her mom was calling her mad person. " Mom I am fine I don't need a doctor." " You are not going out of house for 15 days? You are injured so much just because you were scared of mobile ring. And still you feel that you don't need help? So when you are planning to take help from doctor after losing your job?" Nisha was so angry now. She trusted her mom but nothing worked out the way she wished. Her mom was not cooperating with her. " Mom it is my biggest mistake that I trusted you." " No it is your biggest mistake that you are not trusting psychiatrist. Come on many people go to them but no one told you since no one wanted publicity of it. We don't need to tell everyone that you are visiting a psychiatrist." " But I don't want to tell anyone. Is it possible?" Her mom looked confused at first but then she nodded. " What about your father you can trust him?" " Yes I can but just father Nobody Else." " And our family doctor we need to ask and name of psychiatrist from him?" Nisha once again agreed. " Nobody Else not even my brother!!" Her mom nodded and called her dad. Her dad became tense at beginning but slowly he managed to control himself. He came back home early that day. He even convinced her with smile that going to psychiatrist was not something big. Then they took an appointment. They soon sensed that there was large list of patients. They are not just single patient there was a long line of people who needed a psychiatrist. Nisha's Dad " So many people need psychiatrist but we could never guess it." " People don't dare to confess it since other people will taunt them but truthfully many people need psychiatrist." Entire time Nisha kept telling everyone to switch off their mobile or put it on silent mode. Many patients and their relatives did what she say but just one patient started arguing that her daughter was going to call so she could not switch off or put it on a silent mode. Nisha was so upset she kept telling her please switch off your mobile. Finally their number came and her parents took breath of relief. When they went inside that psychiatrist started to talking with Nisha in friendly way and soon she told him everything. " Doctor I was never scared of anything but now I am so scared of those rings of mobile. I don't understand what is wrong with me." "Well you have developed specific phobia regarding sound of alarm. Actually you are scare of sound Of clock alarm. It happened since you keep writing the story on each sound of that alarm clock." "But I love writing stories." " Of course you love those stories but it is not about writing story it is about your boss betrayed  you. In fact when everyone told you that he did it every time you felt at everyone had betrayed you. In fact you thought that everyone was calling you stupid and laughing on you. Am I wrong?"  Nisha made sad face and nodded. Nisha " But I never feel that I am so much hurt. I thought I got over it." "Well many times people feel that they got over it but it is not true they didn't got over it subconscious mind keep that pain alive." Once again Nisha had to agree. " So you have faith on me now so let's start your treatment." Everyone nodded and finally they started their way towards normal life. Normal life was given us as gift by God but sometimes we manage to lose it. On that point we need to work on it. Nisha and her family decided to do it.
